A luncheon meeting of Local Interagency Council 15, a component of Child and Family Connections, took place on Dec. 5 in the conference room of the Wabash and Ohio Valley Special Education District building in Norris City with 25 attendees representing various agencies.

Early Intervention therapists and parents were present for networking and resource sharing. The guest speaker was Elisha Kearns, who spoke about Safe Families for Children, an organization providing secure, temporary homes to children whose parents are in a crisis situation.

Safe Families is based at Baptist Children's Home in Carmi.

Child and Family Connections, covering the southern Illinois counties of Edwards, Gallatin, Hamilton, Saline, Wabash, Wayne and White, accepts referrals for children, ages birth to three years, who may have a diagnosis or developmental concern.
